Hi, the below script will search through specified directories and look for specified files. If any file is older than 10 hours a notification email will be sent.

#!/bin/ksh

OUT=/tmp/outfile.txt

find /dir1 -cmin +600 -name "file1" > $OUT

find /dir2 -cmin +600 -name "file2" >> $OUT

find /dir3 -cmin +600 -name "file3" >> $OUT




if [[ -s $OUT ]] ; then

mail -s "Check why listed files have existed for more than 10 hours " emailaddre
ss.com < $OUT

fi
